OP - I agree the delay is due to the home purchase credit.
Sounds like you opted for an extension. I've heard of others in this situation, and what they did was filed their original return on time (paying any taxes due), then filing an amendment to the return and waiting for the refund.
I wonder if the IRS would have preferred you do it that way, and since you opted for an extension, you are getting a little worse treatment than if you had filed and then amended.
Not surprising to me the IRS is very slow in paying these refunds. Good luck on getting yours soon!

I don't mind waiting, not what I expected, but it will have to do.

Go to irs.gov and in the bottom section of the page on the left hand side there is a link under "online services" that says "check my refund".
